The Rams New Kicker Blake Grupe Tried Making A Tackle On His First Kickoff And Immediately Got Injured

Listen, I don't know how serious Blake Grupe's injury is, but you have to do right by him if you're the Rams. The Rams had massive kicking issues last week with the "Thiccer Kicker" Harrison Mevis and had to release him. So they find ex Saint Blake Grupe to come in and handle the kicking duties and he immediately drills a 44 yarder on the first possession of the game.

Then, on the kickoff, he lays it all out on the line to help his team. That's one way to show you wanna be on this squad. Imagine getting signed to the Super Bowl favorites as a free agent kicker. Probably feels like crack. So you want to go out there and show them you're in this for the long haul, except you get injured trying to lay your body on the line and now you're hurt. 

Brutal, brutal luck for Grupe there. Hopefully he's okay.
